Great reel for that kind of price.

Really nice reel. Smooth operation. comfortable grip.

I bought this reel not knowing what to expect. This thing is strong and smooth unlike any other reel I have ever used. Like a ultra fine winch and casts a mile with light gear!!

i ordered this reel to get into the door of using sixgill products. man was i surprised. well worth way more than the price of the reel. off the bat i realized it was quality. the compact handle is great. second the smoothness of the reel. last the drag has a nice ring to it which i love because i intended to use it with live bait as well. couple weeks ago i pulled in a 7 lber with ease with this 2000 size reel. im now an owner of a couple products now. Final statement is the reel is well worth the small price to pay for it.

Pro: great quality. Light weight. Has a folding button on the handle to store your reel. Price is very affordable. The look is sharp and feels sturdy. Con: the drag isn’t horrible but I feel could be smoother.

The Karve Reel is a great reel for the price, good drag and very smooth.

bought both not knowing how they were sized. 500 is still in box but it made me giggle some when opening it. my son likes it so it'll get spooled this summer. 1000 is a decent reel, the push button handle that folds was a bit weird to me as I've never seen that in a spinning reel. the pin that holds the two pieces together is there, but there's just enough movement that when the you're trying to hold the handle still, it'll click back and forth. does it effect the casting? no, great reel for the money. Will probably superglue it as one piece to get rid of the back and forth motion on the handle. 10/10 will buy again

Smooth and tight reel, sleek look

My son won a Wally Marshall speed shooter bout a year ago.. When I received the Karve 2000 the size was bout the same as my son's.. Craftsmanship is awesome, on the sixgill Karve and surprisingly smooth and throws like a champ.. I took to the lake to test this new reel.. Its very impressive, strong and I'm in love with the sixgill brand I will be getting more..

Good bearings, reels in smooth casts great. The 500 is a bit small I wanted the 1000 but they were out of stock. Feels a bit small in my hands but still is easy to cast and retrieve. Definitely would buy another in a larger size.
